My name is Daniel Horwitz, and I am a civilian living in Nashville,
Tennessee. Over the past two years, I have been attempting to set up a
“Welcome Home” parade and job fair here in Nashville to thank and
benefit Tennessee’s Iraq War veterans. With the help of organizations
like Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America,
similar parades have already been held in cities across the nation like
St. Louis and Richmond, Chicago and Houston, Philadelphia, Austin, and
Tucson. I believe it’s long past time for Nashville to join these
cities by formally thanking our veterans for their service and giving
them the jobs that they need and deserve. Fortunately, that time has
finally come.

After working with several local, state and
federal officials on this event, I’ve received approval to apply for a
permit to hold a parade and job fair on May 17th, 2014. Fortunately,
local businesses have been extremely supportive of this effort as well,
so the costs associated with the parade permit are graciously being
offered at heavily discounted rates. The total costs of the parade
permit application will be as follows:

A $1,000,000 general liability insurance policy, which will be provided by local veteran James Manning of The Manning Agency at a total cost of just $301.

Event security, which will be provided by local combat veteran T.J. DeMartino of Phalanx Risk Solutions at a total cost of just $660.

Street barricades and traffic control, which will be provided by veteran supporter Larry M. Patton, Jr. of Blinker-Lite at a total cost of just $125.

If
you support this effort and you want to help thank Tennessee’s Iraq War
veterans for their extraordinary sacrifice and service to this country,
please consider donating to help make this event a reality. Any
contributions above the $1,500 target will be donated directly to Operation Stand Down Nashville,
a full-service veterans non-profit organization that is committed to
providing life changing social services to veterans throughout Middle
Tennessee. If you have any questions about this event, if you would
like to help organize it, or if you run a business and would like to
participate in the job fair, please contact me anytime at daniel.a.horwitz@gmail.com.
